An Optical Multiplexer to add Spectra and Imaging to your Microscope

CRAIC Technologies have introduced Lightswitch, an optical multiplexer for the ultraviolet, visible and NIR regions. This unit is designed to attach to an open photoport to add more capabilities to a microscope or microspectrophotometer. With the ability to switch between multiple paths, Lightswitch by CRAIC™ can be used to add additional imaging and spectroscopic options. These currently include low light level imaging, UV-visible-NIR spectroscopy, Raman microspectroscopy, refractive index measurements, UV and NIR microscopy.

“CRAIC Technologies is a leading innovator in the field of UV-visible-NIR microanalysis. We have helped to advance the field of microscale analysis with innovative instrumentation, software, research and teaching. Lightswitch by CRAIC™ was developed in response to customer needs to add additional capabilities to their instruments" states Dr. Paul Martin, President of CRAIC Technologies. “Lightswitch by CRAIC™ allows scientists and engineers to cost effectively add capabilities to existing equipment. It is designed to have a broad spectral range from the deep UV to the near infrared as well as first-rate image quality. Simple to use, yet very flexible, Lightswitch by CRAIC™ can be used with many types of microscopes as well as CRAIC microspectrophotometers.”
